American football
–
The offense must advance at least ten yards in four downs, or plays, or else they turn over the football to the opposing team, if they succeed, they are given a new set of four downs. Points are primarily scored by advancing the ball into the teams end zone for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the opponents goalposts for a field goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins, American football evolved in the United States, originating from the sports of association football and rugby football. The first game of American football was played on November 6,1869, during the latter half of the 1870s, colleges playing association football switched to the Rugby Union code, which allowed carrying the ball. American football as a whole is the most popular sport in the United States, Professional football and college football are the most popular forms of the game, with the other major levels being high school and youth football. As of 2012, nearly 1.1 million high school athletes and 70,000 college athletes play the sport in the United States annually, almost all of them men, in the United States, American football is referred to as football. The term football was established in the rulebook for the 1876 college football season. The terms gridiron or American football are favored in English-speaking countries where other codes of football are popular, such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, American football evolved from the sports of association football and rugby football. What is considered to be the first American football game was played on November 6,1869 between Rutgers and Princeton, two college teams, the game was played between two teams of 25 players each and used a round ball that could not be picked up or carried. It could, however, be kicked or batted with the feet, hands, head or sides, Rutgers won the game 6 goals to 4. Collegiate play continued for years in which matches were played using the rules of the host school. Representatives of Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Rutgers met on October 19,1873 to create a set of rules for all schools to adhere to. Teams were set at 20 players each, and fields of 400 by 250 feet were specified, Harvard abstained from the conference, as they favored a rugby-style game that allowed running with the ball. An 1875 Harvard-Yale game played under rugby-style rules was observed by two impressed Princeton athletes and these players introduced the sport to Princeton, a feat the Professional Football Researchers Association compared to selling refrigerators to Eskimos. Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Columbia then agreed to play using a form of rugby union rules with a modified scoring system. These schools formed the Intercollegiate Football Association, although Yale did not join until 1879, the introduction of the snap resulted in unexpected consequences. Prior to the snap, the strategy had been to punt if a scrum resulted in bad field position, however, a group of Princeton players realized that, as the snap was uncontested, they now could hold the ball indefinitely to prevent their opponent from scoring. In 1881, both teams in a game between Yale-Princeton used this strategy to maintain their undefeated records, each team held the ball, gaining no ground, for an entire half, resulting in a 0-0 tie

The University of Washington, commonly referred to as simply Washington, UW, or informally U-Dub, is a public flagship research university in Seattle, Washington, United States. Founded in 1861, Washington is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast, the university has three campuses, the oldest and largest in the University District of Seattle and two others in Tacoma and Bothell. Washington is a member of the Association of American Universities and is ranked among the top 15 universities in the world by a variety of international publications. In athletics, the university competes in the NCAA Division I Pac-12 Conference and its athletic teams are called the Huskies. Seattle was one of several settlements in the mid to late 19th century vying for primacy in the new Washington Territory, in 1854, territorial governor Isaac Stevens recommended the establishment of a university in Washington. Several prominent Seattle-area residents, chief among them Methodist preacher Daniel Bagley and they convinced early founder of Seattle and member of the territorial legislature Arthur A. Denny of the importance of Seattle winning the school. When no site emerged, the legislature, encouraged by Denny, in 1861, scouting began for an appropriate 10 acres site in Seattle to serve as the campus for a new university. Arthur and Mary Denny donated eight acres, and fellow pioneers Edward Lander and Charlie and this tract was bounded by 4th and 6th Avenues on the west and east and Union and Seneca Streets on the north and south. UW opened on November 4,1861, as the Territorial University of Washington, the following year, the legislature passed articles incorporating the University and establishing a Board of Regents. The school struggled initially, closing three times, in 1863 for lack of students, and again in 1867 and 1876 due to shortage of funds. However, Clara Antoinette McCarty Wilt became the first graduate of UW in 1876 when she graduated from UW with a degree in science. By the time Washington entered the Union in 1889, both Seattle and the University had grown substantially, enrollment increased from 30 students to nearly 300, and the relative isolation of the campus had given way to encroaching development. A special legislative committee headed by UW graduate Edmond Meany was created to find a new campus able to serve the growing student population. The committee selected a site on Union Bay northeast of downtown, the university relocated from downtown to the new campus in 1895, moving into the newly built Denny Hall. The regents tried and failed to sell the old campus, the University still owns what is now called the Metropolitan Tract. In the heart of the city, it is among the most valuable pieces of estate in Seattle.

1907 college football season
–
The 1907 IAAUS football season saw the increased use of the forward pass, which had been legalized the year before. Football remained a game, despite the debrutalization reforms. However, there were no injuries reported among the major colleges. The Yale Bulldogs, unbeaten with a record of 10-0-1, had the best record, the Helms Athletic Foundation, founded in 1936, declared retroactively that Yale had been the best college football team of 1907. Yale and Penn both claim 1907 as a championship season. While Yale was named as champion by 6 different entities, Penn was not named champion by any, penns claim to the championship is only by the university itself. The rules for American football in 1907 were significantly different than the ones of a century later, however, because of problems with the rules at that time, which penalized the offense for an incomplete pass, there were predictions that the forward pass would be scrapped. Attempting a pass in 1907 was still a business, because an incomplete attempt would result in stiff penalties—15 yards back from the spot from which the pass was thrown on first or second down. If the defense committed a foul, the 15 yard penalty didnt apply to the offense, in addition, a pass could not be caught in the end zone, nor more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. The Big Nine Conference, still known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives. Iowa became a joint member of the Big 9 and the Missouri Valley conferences, the Princeton Tigers and Yale Bulldogs had both been unbeaten in 1906, and played to a 0-0 tie at seasons end, giving both teams a 9-0-1 record. Among other schools that would later be described as the Ivy League, elsewhere in the East, the United States Naval Academy Midshipmen and the Carlisle Indian School were expected to do well.

Chemawa Indian School
–
Chemawa Indian School /tʃᵻˈmɑːwə/ is a Native American boarding school in Salem, Oregon, United States. Named after the Chemawa band of the Kalapuya people of the Willamette Valley, grades were added and dropped, and it became a fully accredited high school in 1927, when lower grades were dropped. In 2005, it continued to serve ninth through twelfth grades and it is sometimes referred to as Chemawa High School. It has served students of tribes from the Pacific Northwest. The second Indian boarding school to be established, Chemawa Indian School is the oldest continuously operating Native American boarding school in the United States and its graduates number in the thousands. Former names for the school include United States Indian Training and Normal School, Salem Indian Industrial and Training School, at its peak of enrollment in 1926, it had 1,000 students. New buildings were constructed in the 1970s on a campus near the original one, the history of the Chemawa Indian School dates to the 1870s when the U. S. Government pursued a policy of assimilation of Native Americans. It was the second such school, Pratts philosophy was to use immersive education to assimilate and integrate the Native American population into mainstream society. This contrasted to the earlier philosophy, which assumed that Indians were inherently different from whites. The schools founded under Pratts influence were deliberately located far from Indian reservations, a site was chosen at Forest Grove, Oregon on four acres of land rented from Pacific University. Lieutenant Melville Wilkinson, a member of the United States Army, howard, was in charge of the project, as Indian affairs were administered by the War Department. $5,000 was provided to start the school, lt. Wilkinson, with the help of eight Puyallup Indian youths, began construction on the buildings in 1880. The first class of students consisted of fourteen boys and four girls, all the students came from the State of Washington, seventeen from the Puyallup Indian reservation on Puget Sound and one boy from the Nisqually Indian reservation. Prior to 1883, the United States Congress planned to appropriate a larger amount of funds for the Chemawa Indian School. At this point, officials looked at the temporary leased nature of the land, as well as the poor drainage, three sites were donated for the new school. School officials chose the Salem site since it was close to Oregons capital and had the most land, in 1885, the school moved to the site five miles north of Salem and began construction. The first buildings were made of wood, and were razed to make way for more permanent brick structures. On June 1,1885, the Chemawa Indian School was opened with half of the students moving to the new location

Whitmans acceptance rate for 2015 was 41%, Marcus Whitman and Narcissa Whitman, along with 12 others were killed by a group of Cayuse Indians during the Whitman Massacre. While at the site, Eells became determined to establish a monument to his missionary colleagues in the form of a school for pioneer boys. Eells obtained a charter for Whitman Seminary, a pre-collegiate school, from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, he acquired the Whitman mission site. Eells soon moved to the site with his family and began working to establish Whitman Seminary, despite Eellss desire to locate Whitman Seminary at the Whitman mission site, local pressure and resources provided a way for the school to open in the burgeoning town of Walla Walla. In 1866, Walla Wallas wealthiest citizen, Dorsey Baker, donated land near his house to the east of downtown, a two-story wood-frame building was quickly erected and classes began later that year. The schools first principal, local Congregational minister Peasly B, chamberlin, resigned within a year and Cushing Eells was called upon to serve as principal, which he did until 1869. After Eellss resignation in 1869, the school struggled—and often failed—to attract students, pay teachers, Whitmans trustees decided in 1882 that while their institution could not continue as a prep school, it might survive as the areas only college. Alexander Jay Anderson, the president of the Territorial University, came to turn the institution into a college. After modeling the institution after New England liberal arts colleges, Anderson opened the school on September 4,1882 with an enrollment of 60 students, in 1883, the school received a collegiate charter and began expanding with aid from the Congregational American College and Education Society. Despite local support for Whitman College and help from the Congregational community, after losing favor with some of the schools supporters, Anderson left Whitman in 1891 to be replaced by Reverend James Francis Eaton. The continuing recession of the 1890s increased the institutions financial worries, by popularizing Marcus Whitmans life and accomplishments, Penrose was able to gain support and resources for the college. Under his leadership, the faculty was strengthened and the first masonry buildings, Billings Hall, in 1907, Penrose began a plan called Greater Whitman which sought to transform the college into an advanced technical and science center. To aid fundraising, Penrose abandoned affiliation with the Congregational Church, the prep school was closed and fraternities and sororities were introduced to the campus. Penrose iterated the schools purpose to be a college, with a limited number of students to whom it will give the finest quality of education

Wave (audience)
–
The wave is an example of metachronal rhythm achieved in a packed stadium when successive groups of spectators briefly stand, yell, and raise their arms. Immediately upon stretching to full height, the returns to the usual seated position. The result is a wave of standing spectators that travels through the crowd, when the gap in seating is narrow, the wave can sometimes pass through it. Usually only one wave crest will be present at any time in an arena, although simultaneous. This wave was broadcast on TV, and George has used a videotape of the event to bolster his claim as the inventor of the wave. On October 31,1981, a wave was created at a UW football game against Stanford at Husky Stadium in Seattle, although the people who created the first wave in Seattle have acknowledged Krazy Georges wave at a baseball stadium, they claimed to have popularized the phenomenon. His routine was to have one side of the jump and cheer. One night in late 1980, there was a response from one section of fans. The next section of fans followed suit, and the first wave circled Northlands Coliseum of its own accord. there were two Waves, I was a cheerleader at the University of Washington from 1968 to 1972 when we started the first Wave. We tried to have card tricks but the kids would imbibe too much and the card tricks would get all goofed up, then wed try card tricks with the kids using their bodies as cards and that wouldnt work. Finally we tried a Wave in the student section and it caught on and it would go from the bottom to top instead of side to side. The first wave at the University of Washingtons Husky Stadium occurred on Halloween 1981, at the prompting of Dave Hunter, in the early fall of 1983, the Michigan Wolverines played the Huskies in Seattle and brought the wave back to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. The fans responded to his request by doing more waves, including Silent Waves, Shsh Waves, the Fast Wave, the Slow Wave, the following spring, fans who had enjoyed the wave in Ann Arbor introduced it to the nearby Tiger Stadium in Detroit. The Tigers won baseballs World Series that year and appeared on many televised games throughout 1984, so people all over the US saw it. The Wave is shown as being performed by fans of Apple Inc. before a presentation by Steve Jobs in the movie Steve Jobs, in a scene set before the 1986 Soccer World Cup. The wave was broadcast internationally during the 1984 Olympic football final between Brazil and France on August 11, when it was done among the 100,000 in attendance at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena. The 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico was broadcast to an audience. The finals in Mexico was the first time that most people living outside North America had seen the phenomenon, as a result, English speakers outside of North America call it the Mexican wave
